A Prospectus for Investment in the World Heritage City Project

Delivering on the Promise of Philadelphia’s World Heritage City Status Through a New Mission-Oriented Approach

The World Heritage City Project is a unique public‐private enterprise founded in 2012 by the Global Philadelphia Association in partnership with the City of Philadelphia. It has powerful missions, high cultural and economic importance, a strong commitment to diversity, and compelling timeliness.
 
The Project looks beyond our borders toward a more global future for the City of Philadelphia and, at the same time, looks within those borders toward our rich diversity as Philadelphians. World Heritage is both an engine of outreach beyond our city and an energizer of our connections here at home. This duality is summarized in a driving principle of the Project, that “our World Heritage City is a city of the world’s heritages."
